Local 10 Weather Forecast: Mother's Day Rain, Flooding, and First 90s

Mother's Day Weather

• ☀️ Today, Mother's Day, is expected to be beautiful with temperatures around 87 degrees and only a 10% chance of rain, mainly affecting the lower keys.
• 💧 Most areas will likely not experience rain today, but this is a precursor to significant rainfall expected after midnight.

Significant Rainfall and Flooding Potential

• 🌧️ 1 to 3 inches of rain are forecast after midnight, with some neighborhoods potentially receiving 3 to 6 inches due to back-building thunderstorms.
• ⚠️ The primary concern is flooding, as the ground is currently very dry and absorbs water less effectively.
• ⚡ A few thunderstorms could become strong or severe, bringing gusty winds or an isolated tornado.

Storms Through Tuesday

• ⏰ Rain is expected to begin as early as 9:00 a.m. on Monday, with a hit-or-miss pattern throughout the day.
• 🌊 The potential for flooding continues into Monday night through Tuesday morning as the edge of the thunderstorms moves through.
• 🌤️ Storms are expected to break up on Tuesday, leading to lower rain chances later in the day.

Approaching Summer Heat

• 🌡️ The weather is predicted to become dry by Wednesday.
• 🔥 Attention will then turn to the first 90-degree temperatures of the season in Miami, expected late this week into next weekend.
